Patient thermal comfort requirement for hospital environments in Taiwan

This study examines the comfort criteria of ASHRAE Standard 55-2004 for their applicability in hospital environments. Through an extensive field survey conducted in a university hospital in Taiwan, 927 sets of data have been collected. Above half of the measured samples failed to meet the specifications of Standard 55 comfort zone due to improper humidity control. Acceptability votes by patients exceeded the Standard's 80% criterion, regardless of whether the physical conditions were in or out of the comfort zone. Thermal neutrality, preference and comfort range are compared with other studies conducted in office environments and Standard 55 criteria. Results of chi-square tests revealed that patients’ physical strength significantly effected their thermal requirements. The net effect of health yields a marked difference in thermal neutrality and preference, and also in the comfortable temperature range.     

Assessing the performance of intumescent coatings using bench‐scaled cone calorimeter and finite difference simulations

A method was developed to assess the heat insulation performance of intumescent coatings. The method consists of temperature measurements using the bench‐scaled experimental set‐up of a cone calorimeter and finite difference simulation to calculate the effective thermal conductivity dependent on time/temperature. This simulation procedure was also adapted to the small scale test furnace, in which the standard time–temperature curve is applied to a larger sample and thus which provides results relevant for approval. Investigations on temperature and calculated effective thermal conduction were performed on intumescent coatings in both experimental set‐ups using various coating thicknesses. The results correspond to each other as well as showing the limits of transferability between both fire tests. It is shown that bench‐scaled cone calorimeter tests are a valuable tool for assessing and predicting the performance of intumescent coatings in larger tests relevant for approval. The correlation fails for processes at surface temperatures above 750°C, which are not reached in the cone calorimeter, but are attained in the small scale furnace set‐up.

用改进的逐次逼近解法计算二维井间电磁场

提出了一种计算积分方程的新方法——改进的逐次逼近解法 (MSAM) ,并用该方法计算了轴对称二维井间电磁场。与传统的逐次逼近解法 (SAM)相比 ,该方法收敛性强 ,应用范围广 ,可适用于高电导率对比地层。由于不必进行直接的大型矩阵求逆运算 ,因此与积分方程的直接解法 (IE)相比 ,该方法计算速度更快 ,所需内存更少。采用矩阵求逆方法计算了成层介质中的二维 Green函数 ,并对含 Green函数的积分进行了简化 ,从而加快了计算速度。数值计算结果显示 ,在地层电导率对比度达到 2个数量级时 MSAM仍收敛 ,且计算结果与直接求解积分方程的结果一致 ,因此 MSAM是一种有效的计算轴对称二维井间电磁场的方法

广义物质平衡计算在凝析气藏开采动态预测中的应用

从经济的角度考虑 ,对小型凝析气藏衰竭式开采动态的预测往往不必或不值得进行数值模拟研究。常规物质平衡 (黑油 )计算方法只局限于黑油和干气藏 ,应用于凝析气藏则存在很大的误差。Walsh提出的广义物质平衡计算方法 ,可用于包括黑油、干气藏、挥发油气藏和凝析气藏在内的所有油气藏。文中将一个小型凝析气藏衰竭式开采动态的数值模拟结果与广义物质平衡计算结果进行了对比 ,结果表明 ,Walsh方法简便、应用更广泛 ,可用于规模较小、不适合进行数值模拟研究的凝析气藏的现场开发优化。
